  • Cofuzed customer

    Got the app after Reading the convincing product description but found out the upgrade does nothing no email and you can only edit docs that are made in .txt format
    AVOID!!!!
  • Ripoff!

    That's 5 Stars with a minus sign in front of them!
    This program is a total sham, lie and ripoff at any price. Does NOT download Google Docs - downloads are blank! Does NOT. edit or format .doc in wordprocessor. Totally misrepresented. Listen to this review. I thought I knew better than other reviewers. Whoever wrote positive reviews were either relatives, liars or writing about some other program. All attempts to contact developer by email resulted in mail returned as undeliverable mailbox capacity exceeded. I wonder why... Hmmm

  • Very poor google docs implementation

    I purchased primarily to use with my google docs account. However the implementation of google docs support is appalling.

    I downloaded a couple of existing documents that were initially created in google docs and all looked ok until I tried to open them. I clicked open and just got taken to a blank screen...no text or ability to enter text. Then I realised this app had downloaded the docs with no file extension as Google docs actually saves its files as HTML pages. Before I could edit the local version if the file I had to add the .txt extension, but this then resulted in me having 2 copies both in this app and also google docs when I uploaded th file again. It also meant all formatting was removed.

    Basically, if you want an app that works with Google docs then this certainly not it. There is no point in working with google docs if the app doesn't support the way that google creates and handles docs.

  • Doesn

    It links up to Google Docs, and you can read, but try downloading, and you get a blank doc. Check around the web, seems to be a standing issue with this app. Look elsewhere, save your cash. To be honest, am a bit dismayed that they advertise this as an app to edit Google Docs, given that it doesn't seem to. False advertising, imho. Their website offers no help.

  • Far better than the notebooks I was packing around!

    An excellent substitute for anyone in need of lengthy pieces of writing, from fiction to non. As a writer, I've found this app to be invaluable as it allows me to record my thoughts conveniently and easily in any moment of spare time.

    What it could use is a spell checker, though, to pollish these works. Also, while being able to upload to a Google account is handy, I have yet to get anything I've uploaded back to my iPhone in one piece. It simply shows up as an empty txt file. A patch to fix this would make it perfect!

  • Works Well

    I read through the reviews and was hesitant to purchase... but after trying the free version, I was hooked! Everything works as described but you have to know some minor nuances (hopefully fixed in future release). One main advantage this program has is the ability to work with Google Docs. To have it work properly though, you need to manually rename the extensions on downloaded docs with ".txt" or ".csv". Also, when you re-upload to Google Docs, it creates a new file as opposed to overwriting the old file (which could be a good thing) so you have to manually delete the previous version. For those wanting to manage docs with Google, I highly recommend this app. A nice-to-have would be the ability to manage multiple sheets (currently, only the main sheet of a multiple sheet spreadsheet is loaded)

  • Not really ready yet...

    I'm mainly interested in the spreadsheet, which looks promising. BUT it really hasn't reached a stage where I'd want to use it for real. In less than an hour's use, I found (and have now reported) a bug: some formulae are not correctly updated when a row is inserted, leaving other cells displaying wrong values! Finding that serious a bug that quickly suggests this is really not release quality software. ALSO, it is only possible to paste a value into a single cell, and doing so clears the clipboard. So replicating a formula into a dozen cells requires a dozen separate pairs of copy and paste operations. ALSO, the file saving system is inadequate. If you leave a spreadsheet for any reason, it gets saved to a file called "Autosave", with no sign on which spreadsheet it came from or when it was created. Which makes it easy to start working on the original document again, and so lose your previous work. So, "getting there", but...

  • Disappointing

    When I first tried the free version of this app, I thought it was really cool and bought the paid version. Then I realized I'd jumped the gun: - you can only read Word/Excel files - you cannot edit them - you can only save in TXT/CSV formats, so even though you can format text within the app, it does you no good because you cannot print the formatted files nor can you export the formatted files to another app - tech support apparently does not closely read the questions they receive, and then they don't respond when you try explaining things another way I will say that the functionality for transferring to Google docs works well, as does the ability to use wifi to share files with a PC via an IP address.

  • DOES NOT SYNC

    You can't actually sync a google document at all. You have to *download* the google doc, make changes to the downloaded copy on your iphone, then save those changes, then choose options for that document in the list of downloaded documents, and finally upload the document, which creates a NEW document in your google docs. You then have to delete the old (original) document from google docs. You have to do this every time you want to upload a document! It's very annoying. Also,the spreadsheet is a pain to use.
